**Ezekiel 27:15** — *"The men of Dedan were your clients; many coastlands were your market; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony."*
Tyre was a marvel of commerce — a city so woven into the ancient trade network that distant coastlands brought their finest goods to her docks. Ivory and ebony: luxury carried across sea lanes to feed her appetite for greatness.
Yet Scripture reminds us that Ezekiel's lament over Tyre is precisely *because* of this magnificence. Her wealth became her identity. Her market became her altar.
Consider the steward who measures worth by what flows through his hands rather than by whose hands hold him. Proverbs 11:28 warns plainly: *"Whoever trusts in his riches will fall."* And Colossians 3:2 calls us upward: *"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."*
Tyre's ledger was full. Her soul was empty.
Walk with open hands today — and let the Covenant-Keeper be the treasure that coastlands cannot carry away.
